    GTK+ Update.

    I tried installing firefox 1.0.6 today and i got this:

    Code:
    ./firefox-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    So I download GTK+-2.8.0 and when I run it's configure file, I get this:
    Code:
    jeremiah@Dark:~$ cd gtk+-2.8.0
    jeremiah@Dark:~/gtk+-2.8.0$ ./configure
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
    checking whether build environment is sane... yes
    checking for gawk... no
    checking for mawk... mawk
    checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
    checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    checking for native Win32... no
    checking for gcc... no
    checking for cc... no
    checking for cc... no
    checking for cl... no
    configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
    See `config.log' for more details.
    What's wrong with my ****? I'm a newbie

    Well, looks like you need to download a compiler like gcc.

    you might also need "libc6" and "make".

    these can be obtained using apt-get

    Firefox 1.0.6 is in the Ubuntu hoary and warty repos. If I am correct, Kubuntu uses the Ubuntu repos. Please correct me if I am wrong Kubuntu users .

    In other words, just apt-get install firefox.
